Pan Am Torch Relay Takes Off To Thunder Bay With Porter Airlines

On Saturday, May 30, Porter Airlines transported the Pan Am flame
from Toronto to Thunder Bay, on the 1st of 4 special charters for the
TORONTO 2015 Pan Am Games Torch Relay. Porter Airlines is the Official Canadian
Airline of the Games and a signature supporter of the TORONTO 2015 Torch
Relays.

The flame was transported in 1 of 2 Bombardier Q400 aircraft, outfitted
with a customized Pan Am graphic. The graphic showcases a collection of
colourful sport pictograms, representing the Games motto, “United We Play!"
Porter will deliver the flame at other key points along the Torch Relay route,
including Halifax, Sarnia and Montreal.

“The torch relay connects people across the country and around the world, which
is what we do every day," said Robert Deluce, president and CEO of Porter
Airlines. “It is a special opportunity for Porter to help bring the torch and
the enthusiasm of the Games to communities across Canada."

The relay began on Saturday, May 30, in Toronto, and then flew to Thunder
Bay, beginning its 41-day journey across 130 Canadian communities. Its final
stop is on July 10, at the Opening Ceremony of the Games.
